Anniversary Dinner!

For our 6th Wedding Anniversary Jim took me to this restraunt (I do NOT know how to spell that word!!) that I have wanted to go to for years. It's a fondue place in Nampa called the Mona Lisa. After years of begging he finally gave in. We probably shouldn't have, it wasn't cheap, but it was so much fun. It took us two hours to get it all down, but that was okay cause we had plenty of time.

Let me tell you what we had.....

~Salads

~Cheese fondue - with bread, vegetables, and fruit to dip

~Meat, meat, and more meat - we got to cook it on this little grill all by ourselves

and then....

The mother of all desserts!!

We both had our own pot of chocolate - Jim had milk chocolate-caramel and I had dark chocolate with almond flavoring. To dip in it we had....cheese cake, brownies, lady fingers, pound cake, macaroons, banana bread, pretzels, marshmellows, strawberries, bananas, and apples.....It seems like I'm forgetting something.

I was so stuffed by the time dessert came that I didn't really enjoy it that much, but you better believe I ate it! It was amazing. I'd like to go back sometime just for dessert!

WOW!!!! What an experience! YUM YUM!

Oh, and then we went to see the Incredible Hulk with our friends. Not my favorite movie in the world, but I guess it was ok.

Six Years and He's Still the One!

Can you believe Jim and I have been married for six years? I can't! It had gone by so fast, and the more I think about it, I honestly don't know where the time has gone. I do know that I am married to one heck of a GREAT GUY! We may have out moments, but overall we get along pretty dang well. He spoils me to death (well at least more than he should), does my chores when I conveniently put them off, and ALMOST ALWAYS gives in to my hints and beggings.

I love you HONEY! Thanks for EVERYTHING you do!

Wow Mark!

Wow, look at my brother! If you are a water skiier, you can appreciate these pictures. Especially if you know his age. Not saying he's an old man, but he's no spring chicken :) I don't know too many details about this tournament, but it looks like he was doing a good job.... he says he didn't though.

All I know is that I would LOVE to be able to ski like this, or even 50% of this. I'm pretty proud to have a brother that can ski like this. Way to go, Mark!

More Lake Lowell....

Surfs Up!

Sorry, another trip to the lake. However, this one brought a new adventure......surfing, and a beautiful sunset.

Our friends were demo-ing(?) a surf board from the boat shop. No, not the kind you use on the ocean, but one you use behind the ski boat on the wake. Jim really liked it, and though he is yet to perfect it, he seemed to really enjoy it.

I did not partake in water this night, it was just a little too cold for me. I'm regretting it now because the water was great for skiing, and I'm sure I would have gotten used to it in a hurry.

We did stay out late enough to see a beautiful sunset. Jim caught a couple of pictures of it so I have shared one. And of course, there is another cute picture of our buddy Teigan.

Can't wait for next time :)

Happy Birthday, Jim!

Yesterday, June 1st, was my hubby's 35th birthday! He doesn't really like celebrating, but I always like to do SOMETHING for him. We went out to dinner with some friends on Saturday night, and then had a little Cake and Ice Cream party at our house last night. It was fun to have everyone over, and Jim was a good sport.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM!

I LOVE YOU!

I just have to share a card with you that our friends, the Birds...the ones we go to the lake with, gave to Jim. I hope it doesn't offend anyone, or make you think less of me.

A Poem for Your Birthday

"All About Farts"

A far can be quiet, a fart can be loud,

Some leave a powerful, poisonous cloud....

A fart can be short, or a fart can be long,

Some farts have been know to sound just like a song....

A fart can create a most curious medley,

A fart can be harmless, or silent, but deadly....

A fart might not smell, while others are vile,

a fart may pass quickly, or linger awhile...

A fart can occur in a number of places,

And leave everyone with strange looks on their faces...

From wide-open prairie, to small elevators,

A fart will find all of us sooner or later...

But not all farts are bad, this is simply not true-

We musn't forget...

DEAR, SWEET, OLD FARTS LIKE YOU!

Now you can't tell me you didn't laugh a little bit :)
